Yeah, so when I “signed up” to have another kid, I never thought he’d start teething before 3 months. I mean, our first started at around 4-5 months, so I figured we’d be safe until at least then. But nooo, he just had to beat his big brother. 

On a similar grouch-note, am I just supposed to not wear my nice suits until he stops spitting up? I freaking position the burp cloth to catch his stuff, and just in time- he nails my suit! And, even if the burp cloth is in position, he outsmarts his totty and aims around the bleeping thing! What the ה!!!

My favorite halacha is that the mishna berura says not to hold children on shabbos (since they'll urinate on you). I'm very makpid on that one.

That was before they invented diapers, dude. You should find out about that invention before you get your next visitor...

Just because “they all say that”, doesn’t mean that it’s not true.

Then again, they probably say that too…

Speaking of which, while the heck are “they”? We’re always quoting them, and yet we have no idea who they are!!! (Then again, who are “we”?

Mods nuked my stimulation thread
I feel like there's some personal beef goin' on here. 

Unrelated grouch. Had a wet dream Tisha B'av night (full on technicolor affair-with-a-shiksa wet dream, special effects and all). And while I *know* it's not my fault, and it's an ones, and I'm not going to hell for it and all those nice things . . . still feels pretty lousy.

I can only think of one good reason the YH would plage you with this davka on Tisha b'Av. If he anyways felt he had a good standing against you, he'd not feel the need to resort to more extreme measures. Must be he's a little nervous about you and is trying to get to you.

Totally normal to not feel great about that, but hoping you pull past it soon and leave it behind you.

edit: Alright, alright, to avoid getting nuked by the grouch mods I'll add -- GET OVER IT!
And now will you please put the Cordnoy away?

For supper before the fast, we were going to have salmon with roasted vegetables and rice. Sounds yummy and filling, right?
Well, as it turned out, my wife didn’t realize that supper was supposed to be eaten before mincha. Not only that, she left her phone in her room and didn’t answer my calls to tell her so. And so, when I got home at around 5:45, the rice had just been put up (it got ready just after the fast started), and the veggies and salmon were totally unprepared. Harrumph.

That's an appropriate response for the grouch thread. I don't think Camala Harris got me worked up, but who knows.

Devastating nuke. It's really a shame...I really felt like I could be mashpia so much wisdom on that thread...oh well. I'm still here via PM for those that are crazy enough to ask. (To quote a tough guy in the recent news: "DONT")

Regarding the dream, my warped, twisted mind has a hard time understanding why you'd feel lousy after that, but I guess that's a perfect sentiment for The Grouchery. 

ZERO EMPATHY

This is not for the grumps. This is awesome! You have a wife that cares for you! And she is a human with bechira and potential mistakes, so even more amazing when she does things for your!  You have money and access to salmon! And much more... Wow!!
